In a moment of triumph, I find defeat uncontrolled 
In the second of honor, a despair sharp and old 
She gives me a taste, please show me some etiquette 
I wasn't looking for you and I don't want to find you yet 

At an uncurtained window, in a street full of rooms 
Watching the gardens, and pursuing the blooms 
This world is so white, they never see me anymore 
But I trusted you then, and I'm trusting you still 
It's just that I'm not quite sure 

Now I wonder why, I thought I could ever lose 
But the gain is hardly what I'd choose 
Now I wonder why 

It was somebody, a woman, it was a delicate crime 
And I've been waiting for ages, yes I've been here all the time 
There was this greed in my blood, she let me take the easy way 
She helps me hide the vagabond, that was myself yesterday 

And after the acting, I found that I couldn't sleep 
And during my drifting, I found that I was too deep 
By the virtue of faith I knew that I could be lost 
Beyond this dark place 
Unprepared to pay the cost
